Answer: Option A

                       

Explanation: In simple words, present value refers to the value of future cash flows in the present time in respect to monetary terms. It is calculated by discounting back the future cash flows with the current interest rate in the market.

Thus, if the interest rate declines in the market the value will be greater as the discounting factor will be smaller.

Hence the correct option is A .
